2. Purpose
This Community Resource Group is established to provide input, guidance and advice for the
Humber Bay Parks Master Plan and Pavilion. This Terms of Reference includes guidelines for
how the Humber Bay Parks Project Community Resource Group (HBPP-CRG) will operate and
when meetings will take place.
This document may be amended as the project progresses. Any amendments to the Terms of
Reference (TOR) will be done in consultation with the Project Team and Community Resource
Group members.
3. Mandate
The Humber Bay Parks Project Community Resource Group will meet to provide ongoing
advice to the Project Team (City Staff and Consultants) during the design phase of the Project.
The primary goal of the Community Resource Group is to represent the community, business
groups and park/trail users, and provide input towards the successful completion of the design
phase of the Project. Specifically, towards the completion of this goal, the Community Resource
Group will:
Review and provide comments on preliminary design concepts, and project priorities;
and
Identify and discuss potential issues, challenges and opportunities and assist the Project
Team in developing mechanisms to identify satisfactory outcomes.
Key components of the Humber Bay Parks Project that will require input include but are not
limited to the following:
1
The Community Resource Group will have input on establishing project priorities for overall
design but not include input on design details, finishes and technical drawings or construction.
4. Decision Making
The purpose of the Community Resource Group is to provide input, advice, and suggestions to
the Project Team. The CRG is not a decision-making body. However, members of the
Community Resource Group are encouraged to provide input, advice, and suggestions towards
the Projects design phase with the expectation that the Project Team will consider this
information in the overall decision-making process.
The Community Resource Group is encouraged to appropriately discuss and debate ideas
towards the generation of consensus. If after a period of time, no consensus can be reached,
differences will be noted and provided to the Project Team with rationales.
